Custom Picture Settings
NOTES
• You can also copy a custom picture file embedded in a clip to the camcorder (0 118).
Embedding Custom Picture Settings in a Recording
You can record video or take a photo with your custom picture settings
applied to it. Later, those embedded settings in the video or photo can be
copied to the camcorder (0 140) and be applied to future recordings.
You may find that embedding custom picture settings in a recording helps
you keep track of them, such as verifying what settings were used for a
particular recording.

Available Custom Picture Settings
The following are the available settings. Even if no custom picture file is selected, the default settings are still
applied to the picture.
Gamma
The gamma curve changes the overall look of the image.
(Default: [Normal 1])
[Normal 1] to [Normal 4]: These settings are suitable for viewing
the image on a TV monitor. Highlights in
[Normal 2] are brighter than those of
[Normal 1]. Dark tones in the lower part
of the gamma curve for [Normal 3]
(ITU-R BT.709 standard) and [Normal 4]
are more pronounced than those of
[Normal 2].
[Cine 1] or [Cine 2]: Use [Cine 1] for a gamma curve that
results in a picture with a cinema-like
feel and cinema-like tones. [Cine 2] has
softer contrasts than does [Cine 1] but is also suitable for creating a cinema-like picture.
Black
Controls the black level and color cast of blacks.
Master Pedestal
The master pedestal increases or decreases the black level. Higher settings will make dark areas brighter but
decrease contrast. This setting can be adjusted from -50 to 50. (Default: 0)
